Gilas Pilipinas, which is bracketed in Group B, will open its campaign in the Fiba-World Cup against Croatia on August 30 before facing Greece on August 31. The PBA-backed squad then takes on powerhouse Argentina on September 1 before taking a break on September 2.

The Nationals return to action on September 3 against Puerto Rico, then wrap up the preliminaries on September 4 against Senegal.

Gilas-Pilipinas is still waiting for the approval of the naturalization of Nuggets' center JaVale McGee and Nets' back-up big man Andray Blatche.

The said bill is already in the Senate.
